In Jaya Ganguly’s art, colours complement each other, emerging in a manner that tests the textures on the surface of the canvas. Her figures celebrate the artist’s boldness and her keen sense of judgment to create works that are highly individualistic. This Untitled work shows how the artist’s gaze, a woman’s perspective, features a female figure who seems to question and survive the monotonous existence. Ganguly, in fact, features such female protagonists often in her paintings, urging us to look closely at those who were oppressed.
